SOUND VIBRATIONS.

17.7 million American women have been victims of attempted or completed rape.

Every 2 minutes, someone in the U.S. is sexually assaulted.

I wish that one loud scream could be heard at once, from all of their voices. That way people would understand what a big problem it is and how it’s not OK because it’s often silenced and people don’t even realize what a big problem it is.

And if one loud scream could be heard at once, sexual violence wouldn’t be normalized, because screams aren’t normal, they are filled with pain and sadness, and that’s what sexual violence does: causes pain and sadness.

And, if one loud scream could be heard at once, then maybe all the women and men who have ever experienced sexual violence would know that they aren’t alone.

And, if one loud scream could be heard, maybe it would SHUT PEOPLE UP who say that victims cause violence with clothes they wear or drinks they drink or actions they take. 

And also, sound energy is the energy produced by sound vibrations as they travel through a specific medium and sound vibrations cause waves of pressure which lead to some level of compression and rarefaction in the mediums through which the sound waves travel.  So maybe one loud scream would shake the universe with a sound vibration, and people would WAKE UP and realize that sexual violence is an on-going issue.
